Platform + FDEs that rebuild enterprises agent-first

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We build Marker, a platform that lets enterprises rebuild and automate business processes agent-first, delivered by forward-deployed engineers. Marker makes every stage from discovery to putting agents into production a real product, not consulting. Each agent shipped by Marker makes it faster to build and deploy the next one, compounding over time.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

San Francisco, CA, USA; Remote. After YC: San Francisco, CA, USA; Remote.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Our team is based in San Francisco and remote, which lets us work closely with Bay Area companies and access a wide talent pool. We plan to keep this hybrid model after YC to stay flexible and close to our enterprise customers.
